I previously twisted my head over the news that they are making a 1:1 scale, life-sized, standing upright, complete Gundam by July 2009 but gundamn, they were fast - it’s now complete!
We can now all shout Holy&%* A Life-sized Gundam!
Pinch me before I really consider that it’s a working, moving, flying, shooting Gundam.

Ever want to go to a great place but you know, even if you are the world’s most hopeful little critter, you will never ever get to see it? Sounds so bad, ne? Death of wishes and dreams but today, we can easily see photos of places almost anywhere with just a few clicks because of the internet. Google Maps had turned this up a notch by giving us see a satellite view of the world and, I just found this one out so it might be old news - a panoramic street view.~

Cheers to you Google! As I was making my rounds, the internet connection was failing me yet again (duh.) and I’m thinking of switching to my backup connection. It was making me stressed again because I wanted to open all these sites to check on friends, updates and feeds. I have like 20 minutes to do all these before I force myself to start serious work and this slow internet is not helping! I stress on thing too much, ne?
I wanted to at least get my feeds and read some of them. I use Google Reader for this and that itself was loading sloooooooooow. If only we have an app to download all these, at least lay some bytes off my browser and give some ease of use like what Tweetdeck does for Twitter. Suddenly, low and behold - a Google Reader gadget - for your desktop!
I really want to get some more content here in my blog, write more about that things I like and what’s been happening. I’m bit of a private person so I’ll rarely write about personal stuff unless I am having a major fangirl flailing.~
Recently I bugged a number of people, good friends who understand, for ranting about the failure of my internet connection. I work fro, home, a freelance web developer and the internet is my bread and butter. I research and download materials I need over the interwebs, talk to my clients over email, coordinate with teammates over IM. Without it, well not wanting to sound too melodramatic, basically I am dead.
Yes, I was pissed off. I pay for this connection from a-provider-who-must-no-be-named, promptly pay for it and depend on their service to run my home-based work. I called them almost every day to inform them of the problem but all they told me was system restoration issues. I even had to buy an extra pre-paid internet device from another provider just so my head won’t blow up everytime I see that dead third light on my modem.
Being in front of the PC without internet connection is like drinking decaffinated coffee. It tastes like coffee but it doesn’t have the right feel, you know what I’m talking about? So, what does a workaholic, internet addict like me do when she can’t work and have no internet connection?

Inthenameofeveythingsacredinthejrockworld, what now?
VAMPS Live 2009 website has posted the scheds and tour goods. (Mint Addict, anyone?) And as if drooling over the goods you can’t have, crying over gigs you can’t go to, is not enough.. they add VAMPARK to the list of hearthaches for poor fans like me. MADNESS.The have no fear of over-merchandising. There I was thinking about the grandness of a L’Arc Museum, then asking whatthehell they might do next .. then Hyde pulls off this VAMPARK. Pure madness, insanity, this is.
I’d love to be insane mad for him.
